UCLA guard Lamb to have knee surgery

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - UCLA junior guard Tyler Lamb will undergo
arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday and is expected to miss four to
six weeks.

Lamb played in 33 games -- 32 starts -- last season and averaged 9.0 points,
3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.

"I'm very optimistic that Tyler will be back in four weeks," head coach Ben
Howland said. "He's going to be very diligent with his rehab, and we are
hopeful that this will be a quick and successful procedure. He had similar
surgery on this knee the summer before his freshman year, and he quickly
recovered from that."

Lamb missed a month of action after undergoing a similar procedure on the same
knee on July 2, 2010.
